Hints on Controlling the Interior Climate
General Hints
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog up.

You may feel a small amount of air from the footwell air vents regardless of the air distribution setting.

To reduce humidity build-up inside your vehicle, do not drive with the system switched off or with recirculated air always switched on.
Note:
To reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position.
